Close identifier for WM_COMMAND?

Hi,

I'm trying to write a dialog procedure, with a command button that closes the dialog. However, the dialog also has a Close window button on it, and clicking this doesn't close it at the moment.

When I positioned a breakpoint at my "switch (LOWORD(wParam)" statement and clicked the window button, wParam = 0x020003e8. Does the low word of this value equate to any constant listed in winuser.h?

your switch should look like this:

Code:

---

switch(msg)
{
    case WM_CLOSE:
          EndDialog(hDlg, 0);
          break;

...
}

---

>> When I positioned a breakpoint at my "switch (LOWORD(wParam)"

is that switch (LOWORD(wParam) a typo??
cuz it should be:
(LOWORD(wParam))

Ah yes, that works, but I thought the default dialog procedure processing would've covered that one... :confused:

Yes it was a typo in the message, although I've typed it before soooo many times I really shouldn't get it wrong! (Sigh)

What default dialog procedure?

MSDN: "Although the dialog box procedure is similar to a window procedure, it must not call the DefWindowProc function to process unwanted messages. Unwanted messages are processed internally by the dialog box window procedure."

So I'm assuming there's something in the DialogBox function that deals with those (seeing as it doesn't return a value until the dialog is closed).
